A 21-year-old New Jersey man has been sentenced to jail for vomiting on another spectator and his 11-year-old daughter in the stands at a Philadelphia Phillies major league baseball game.Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, pleaded guilty in May to charges of assault, harassment and disorderly conduct and was sentenced to one to three months in jail, two years of probation and 50 hours of community service.The maximum penalty was two years in jail.Clemmens was taken into custody after Family Court Judge Kevin Dougherty sentenced him, and several family members burst into sobs.The spectator who was vomited on, Michael Vangelo, said he has not been back to the ballpark since the assault.He also said his daughter refuses to talk about what happened and has said she does not want to go to another Phillies game.Clemmens admitted he stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Vangelo's daughters at a Phillies-Washington Nationals game on April 14 at Citizens Bank Park.Clemmens apologised on Friday, and members of his family told Dougherty that Clemmens was a good person who made one uncharacteristically bad mistake.Dougherty said he believed Gary Clemmens was sincere in his apology for his son's behaviour, but said the defendant's apology was "feigned".Clemmens and his friend were spilling beer, cursing and heckling Vangelo and his daughters from the time they arrived at their seats.The police captain's 15-year-old daughter asked the pair to stop the profanity, and Vangelo complained to security that Clemmens' friend was spitting, with some of it hitting his younger daughter.After the friend was ejected, Clemmens was sitting alone behind the Vangelos when he answered his mobile phone and said: "I need to do what I need to do. I'm going to get sick," the prosecutor said.Clemmens then put his fingers down his throat and threw up on the father, with some vomit splashing onto Vangelo's younger daughter.
Most states have some "law" say for spitting on someone,....bodily fluid ordinance,...something, like spitting on a cop, person etc,...He would have woke up in the hospital asking what day it was if he puked on me.
He would have woke up with his arse cheeks as ear muffs.
I think that given the fact that the guy this brain surgeon puked on was a police captain, the ass kicking part may be coming up once he hits jail. "Well Jorge, I could bust you for that dope, or you could call your three cousins who are in county. You see, there's this guy who likes things shoved down his throat....." FQ13
